Thanks for the HOF status.
My email is still out of order at this time.
I am getting close to releasing the 1944 movies, I will send them thru the 1944 Yearly review area.
Thx
No problem….you have done a lot to earn your UMR Hall of Fame status. If you want I will be glad to mail you a copy of the new book….and you will see your name in the acknowledgement section. I look forward to seeing your 1944 box office grosses. Good job on all that research.
Dakota Fanning has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. She might be someday but she seems to already be converting over to television. These are the actors on the 2020 list she has appeared with.

Hey Dan…thanks for the thoughts on lists on Dakota Fanning. She has had a very busy career. Her lists are massive compared to the Constance Bennett ones I recently saw. Looking at the most frequent Oracle co-stars….Mr. Kurt Russell gets the honors….with three projects. Cutlass is an interesting short film….which was directed by Kate Hudson….worth finding on YouTube. I agree with your thought process on her outstanding total of Oscar winning co-stars. I suspect that number will increase greatly…especially if she finds success as an adult actress. So far her adult career has not been as impressive as her child actress career. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
I have seen 20 of these movies or 71.40% of them. Favorites would include Once Upon A Time In The Mind of Quentin Tarantino. Dreamer, Man on Fire, and The Runaways.
